Public charging stations

Public charging station for your electric car in your neighborhood?
In the municipality of Leudal, the network of public charging stations will be further expanded in the coming years. At public charging stations of our cooperation partner Vattenfall InCharge you always charge 100% from wind generated electricity from Dutch windmills.

There may not yet be a charging station close to you. Through Vattenfall's website, you can submit a proposal for a new location. Every six months, the municipality, together with Vattenfall, looks at the best performing charging stations and proposals from residents. This analysis determines where new charging stations will be placed the following six months. That charging station costs you nothing, you only pay for charging your electric car.

View a schedule of fees.

Will it be my own charging station?

No, the charging station is public and for everyone to use. To ensure that everyone can use the public charging stations, we ask that you remove your car again when it is charged.

Who decides if there will be a charging station and where it will be placed?

We do this together with our cooperation partner Vattenfall InCharge. Every six months, Vattenfall InCharge and the municipality look at the performance of charging stations and proposals for potential locations from residents. Based on this, it is determined where new charging stations will be placed. Vattenfall InCharge looks at where charging stations are commonly used and, in cooperation with the municipality and based on information from the grid operator, chooses a suitable location nearby.

What should I do in the event of a malfunction at a public charging station?

It may happen that a charging station is malfunctioning. Call the fault number on the charging station or report the fault via the Vattenfall InCharge app. Via the app, you will be informed when the fault has been resolved.

How many cars can charge at the charging station at the same time?

Two electric cars can charge at the same time. There is one charging point on each side of the charging station.

How many parking spaces will be reserved at the charging station?

When a charging station is installed, two parking spaces are immediately reserved for charging electric cars. This may be waived if necessary.

Which charging stations will be installed?

The charging stations being installed are from suppliers Alfen and Evonity. These charging stations are prepared for future innovations and have a display. The charging capacity of these charging stations goes up to a maximum of 11 kW.

Do these charging stations tax the power grid?

The charging stations offer an opportunity to relieve the electricity grid by Smart and Grid-conscious charging. This allows us to make the best possible use of grid capacity at busy times. When peak traffic occurs, electric drivers charge with less power without being inconvenienced. In this way we jointly combat grid overload. Is this not a good time? Then you can turn off Smart Charging via the InCharge app or the QR code on the charging station.

At what speed can I charge at the charging station?

The charging stations have a charging capacity of up to 11 kW. The actual speed at which you will charge depends on the type of car and how busy the electricity grid is. The charging station provides the highest possible power available, provided the car can charge at that speed.

Also, the actual speed at which you will charge depends on the occupancy of the charging station:

If one 3-phase car is charging then it gets 3x 16 amps
If there are two 3-phase cars charging they each get 3x 12 amps
If one 1-phase car is charging then it gets 1x 16 amps
If there are two 1-phase cars charging they also get 1x 16 amps each

The charging station always gives at least 3.7 kW to electric cars connected.

What can I do if the charging station is often occupied?

Report this via the Vattenfall InCharge app. If there is high usage of a charging station nearby, we may be able to place an additional charging station. For this, you can submit a proposal for a location.
